Review:
This was my first
time reading R.L. Kenderson and I have to say that I am so glad a I took a
chance on this book. This was an amazing book and I could not stop reading.
Naya and Vaughn are the perfect couple, I loved the alpha maleness of Vaughn
and the innocence of Naya. I loved how the relationship between the two developed
it made for more interesting reading. The one thing I loved above all was the
authors ability to switch from character to character without overwhelming the
reader it was cool, and it made it harder to figure out which characters would
be the focus for the next book I loved that usually I can figure it out but not
this time. Overall I was extremely pleased with this story.

Damien Lowell, future pack leader of the wolf-shifters, has found himself in an impossible situation. Cat-shifters and wolf-shifters aren’t friends, and what she doesn’t know is that his father is behind her attack. He only meant to prevent her from being kidnapped, and he now has the wounded princess of the cat-shifters in his custody.
But when the heat becomes too much to handle, Damien and Payton must choose whether to follow their instincts or question the forbidden. (Goodreads)
Review:
Another slam dunk
for R.L. Kenderson, This was an unexpected book there were so many characters
mentioned in book 1 that Damien and Payton were one of three options and I
should've guessed they would be next. Damien was an unlikely alpha hero I knew
he was an alpha but I didn't think he was that dominant but I was so happy to
see he was. I loved Payton from book 1 so when I got to really get to know her
in this book I was surprised to see that she became my favorite female
character. Payton and Damien's relationship was rocky at the start and
partially in the middle but they ended on a good note. Once again the authors
made it impossible to figure out who would be getting the next book Love it.

Synopsis:
Since one fateful evening at a nightclub, Kenzie Swanson and Sawyer Lennar have shared an undeniable attraction. They’ve had moments where they couldn’t ignore their desires, succumbing to their needs, and Sawyer has marked Kenzie in a way that no other man can.
But there is one problem that continues to keep them apart.
As a cat-shifter with a traumatic past, Sawyer hates humans—and Kenzie is all human.
Sawyer’s hatred pushes Kenzie away, and they try to maintain their distance from each other—until they are mistakenly kidnapped and have to act as a couple. When the unforeseen happens, Kenzie can only do so much to deny herself from being intimate with Sawyer.
Given a chance at what might have been, Sawyer and Kenzie are forced to face the forbidden temptation to be with one another. (Goodreads)
Review:
WOW! Kenzie and
Sawyer were definitely explosive from beginning to end. I knew that their book
would be good, I could tell from previous books. Kenzie and Sawyer were
definitely opposites attracting, I loved the complexity of Sawyer the fact that
he hated humans but yet was attracted to one and didn't want to want her. It
was amusing to see him struggle and fail. Kenzie definitely had more depth than
I originally thought and I was glad for that. I loved this book it was a
definitely an awesome read.

Synopsis:
With a tortured past, she’s a cat-shifter who refuses to get close to anyone. Yet she can’t seem to resist the leader of the vampire protectors.
Phoenix Kaplan has never felt a connection like the one she has with Dante Leonidas. She might service him monthly, allowing him to feed from her blood, but as much as her body tells her differently, she knows it can be nothing more, not with her insecurities and inability to be intimate with a male.
That is, until she realizes the one thing she desires most in the world is something he can give her…and she propositions him to impregnate her.
She’s never wanted anything more than to be a mother, and all she needs is this one thing from Dante.
Although he should refuse, Dante can’t resist the temptation. He’s addicted not only to her blood, but also to the enigma that is purely Phoenix. And he is determined to prove to her that he can give her much more than what she asked for.
She might protect her heart with an impenetrable wall, but he’s willing to do whatever it takes to break down that wall in order to get what he desires most in the world. (Goodreads)
Review:
My favorite book in
this series so far, I was waiting for Phoenix's book I knew that it would be good,
and I was not disappointed. This story was truly amazing I loved every page,
and I hated when it was over because I wanted to keep reading about Phoenix and
Dante. Dante was the perfect alpha male for Phoenix, I loved how he forced her
out her comfort zone, but at the same time respected that she wasn't always
ready. This was a great book and definitely on my all-time favorites list.
